edit: I just noticed they said 'sprint commitment', and that they should adhere to it even if it runs overtime. This is probably the most wrong part of the art

This is probably the most wrong part of the article - you get done what you can, and let it affect your velocity. It is this velocity that is the central indicator of how much you can realistically achieve
- theptip 11y agoI read "adhere to the sprint commitment" as being an undesirable aspect of Scrum that the author was complaining about, not something that Scrum is lacking. It's certainly one of the bad parts of Scrum as commonly interpreted; c.f. http://www.peterkretzman.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Asking-for-estimates.png http://www.peterkretzman.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Aski.... (That's why newer docs tend to substitute "commitment" with "forecast", to clarify the Manifesto author's intent).
- cechner 11y agointeresting - I recently heard someone call it a forecast and thought 'man why don't they use that term in scrum?' Nice to know that they actually do (I havent read up on it in some time, probably should)
